Rublev Colours French Burnt Sienna is a classic, semi-transparent reddish-brown earth colour made from natural mineral deposits in the Luberon Mountains of France. Ground in linseed oil with no additives, this single-pigment PR 102 iron oxide delivers a fine-grained, buttery consistency that brushes long and smoothly, making it ideal for glazing, warm underpainting, and natural skin-tone mixes.
French Burnt Sienna offers good tinting strength and a clean, earthy warmth that deepens shadows without turning muddy. Use it for portrait underlayers, warm neutrals, landscape earth passages, and transparent veils over lighter grounds. With ASTM I lightfastness and a permanence rating of A, it is a dependable professional oil colour for archival painting.
